 # 🦉 Bubo Reader
 
 Bubo Reader is a hyper-minimalist <acronym title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</acronym> and <acronym title="JavaScript Object Notation">JSON</acronym> feed reader you can deploy on your own server, [Netlify](https://netlify.com) in a few steps or [Glitch](https://glitch.com) in even fewer steps! The goal of the project is to generate a webpage that shows a list of links from a collection of feeds organized by category and website. That's it.
 
 It is named after this [silly robot owl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSeCfo9-NI) from Clash of the Titans (1981).
 
-You can read more about how this project came about in my blog post '[Introducing Bubo RSS: An Absurdly Minimalist RSS Feed Reader](https://george.mand.is/2019/11/introducing-bubo-rss-an-absurdly-minimalist-rss-feed-reader/)'
+You can read more about this project on my blog:

+- [Publishing Bubos RSS to Netlify with GitHub Actions](https://george.mand.is/2020/02/publishing-bubos-rss-to-netlify-with-github-actions/)
 
-- `src/index.html` - a [Nunjucks](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/) template that lets you change how the feeds are displayed
-- `output/style.css` - a CSS file to stylize your feed output
-- `src/feeds.json` - a JSON file containing the URLs for various site's feeds separated into categories
-- `src/index.js` - the script that loads the feeds and does the actual parsinga and rendering
+## Get Started
 
-## Demos
+- Clone or fork the repo and run `npm install` to install the dependencies.
+- Update `feeds.json` to include categories and links to feeds you would like to see.
+- Run `npm run build:bubo`
 
-You can view live demos here:
+That's it! You should now have a static page with links to the latest content from your feeds in the `public` folder, ready to serve.

+    <strong>Anatomy of Bubo Reader</strong>
+  </summary>
 
-Not the most exciting-looking demos, I'll admit, but they work!
+The static pieces:
 
-**Getting Started**
+- `conf/feeds.json` - a JSON file containing your feed URLS separated into categories.
+- `config/template.html` - a [Nunjucks](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/) template that lets you change how the feeds are displayed. This can be changed to anything else you like— see below.
+- `public/style.css` - a CSS file to stylize your feed output.
+- `public/index.html` - The HTML file that gets automatically generated when Bubo is run.
+
+The engine:
+
+- `src/index.ts` - The primary script you run when you want to build a new version of Bubo. It will automatically fetch the latest content from your feeds and build a new static file at `public/index.html`.
+- `src/renderer.ts` — The renderer that loads Nunjucks, the template and understands how to process the incoming feed data. Prefer something else? This is the place to change it!
+- `src/utilities.ts` — A variety of parsing and normalization utilities for Bubo, hidden away to try and keep things clean.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>
+    <strong>Throttling</strong>
+  </summary>
+
+In the main `index.ts` file you will find two values that allow you to batch and throttle your feed requests:
+
+- `MAX_CONNECTIONS` dictates the maximum number of requests a batch can have going at once.
+- `DELAY_MS` dictates the amount of delay time between each batch.
+
+The default configuration is **no batching or throttling** because `MAX_CONNECTIONS` is set to `Infinity`. If you wanted to change Bubo to only fetch one feed at a time every second you could set these values to:
+
+```javascript
+const MAX_CONNECTIONS = 1;
+const DELAY_MS = 1000;
+```
+
+If you wanted to limit things to 10 simultaneous requests every 2.5 seconds you could set it like so:
+
+```javascript
+const MAX_CONNECTIONS = 10;
+const DELAY_MS = 2500;
+```
+
+In practice, I've never _really_ run into an issue leaving `MAX_CONNECTIONS` set to `Infinity` but this feels like a sensible safeguard to design.

 ## Deploying to Glitch
 
 The quickest way is to remix the project on Glitch:
 [https://glitch.com/edit/#!/bubo-rss](https://glitch.com/edit/#!/bubo-rss)
 
-Just changed some feeds in `./src/feeds.json` file and you're set! If you'd like to modify the style or the template you can changed `./output/style.css` file or the `./src/template.html` file respectively.
+There is also a `glitch` branch on this repo if you'd prefer to start there.
 
-There is also a special `glitch` branch you can clone if you prefer:
-[https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/tree/glitch](https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/tree/glitch)
-
-The only difference between this branch and `master` is that it spins up a server using [Express](https://expressjs.com/) to serve your `./output/index.html` file on Glitch. Everything else is the same.
+Just change some feeds in `./config/feeds.json` file and you're set! If you'd like to modify the style or the template you can changed `./public/style.css` file or the `./config/template.html` file respectively.

+
 ## Deploying to Netlify
 
 - [Fork the repository](https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/fork)
-- From your forked repository go to and edit `src/feeds.json` to manage your feeds and categories
-- [Create a new site](https://app.netlify.com/start) on Netlify from GitHub 
+- From your forked repository edit `config/feeds.json` to manage your feeds and categories
+- [Create a new site](https://app.netlify.com/start) on Netlify from GitHub
 
 The deploy settings should automatically import from the `netlify.toml` file. All you'll need to do is confirm and you're ready to go!

 ### Keeping Feeds Updated
 
 #### Using Netlify Webhooks

+#### Rolling Your Own
 
-#### Using GitHub Actions
+If you already have a server running Linux and some command-line experience it might be simpler to setup a [cron job](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
 
-This approach is a little different and requires some modifications to the repository. Netlify started billing for [build minutes](https://www.netlify.com/pricing/faq/) very shortly after I published this project. Running `npm build` and downloading all of the RSS feeds took up a substantial number of these, particulary if you had a process pinging the webhook and triggering a build every 15 minutes or so.
+</details>
 
-How is the The GitHub Action-based approach different? The same build process runs, but this time it's on GitHub's servers via the Action. It then **commits** the newly created file generated at `./output/index.html` back into the repository. Netlify still gets pinged when the repository is updated, but skips the `npm run build` step on their end. This significantly reduces the number of build minutes required.
+## Demos
 
-**TLDR**: use the [`github-action-publishing`](https://github.com/georgemandis/bubo-rss/tree/github-action-publishing) branch for now if you'd prefer to use GitHub Actions.
+You can view live demos here:
 
-**Note:** The GitHub Action is setup to build and commit directly to the `master` branch, which is not the best practice. I'd suggest creating a separate branch to checkout and commit changes to in the action. You could then specify that same branch as the one to checkout and publish on Netlify.
